Energy channeling

Generally. 5j. In this way, a depth scale may be associated with an ERS spectrum, as shown in the schematic spectrum of Figure 3c. That spectrum shows the H recoil rate (counts per energy channel of width AE) as a function of E y and hence as a function of depth below the sample surface (see Equation (3)). 

It is unclear exactly how the two potential surfaces, and hence the interaction regions between them, behave as the parent molecules bend. Our experimental results indicate that the more bent the ozone molecules are as they dissociate the more effectively is the available energy channelled into the OA T, ) fragment vibration. It is possible that as the parent molecules bend, the crossing seams move to a region on the repulsive state that more strongly favors the production of vibrationally excited 02(3 ) fragments. 

Channel (1), the lowest energy channel, requires a hydrogen shift, while (2) and (3) are simple band fission channels. Channels (1) and (2) are accessible from all levels of the B state, whereas channel (3) can be accessed only at the blue edge of the B+-X band. 

The vibrational population of hydrogen molecules in the ground state opens a manifold of low energy channels so that the knowledge of this parameter...
